That should get you going... ;-) I test drove a new one last year. I really wanted to like it. It would have been great here in the New England winters with AWD. Unfortunately, I hated it. It felt very cheap and tinny on the road. The engine vibrated a lot more than I expected since it is the boxer 6 engine. After that test drove I tested a used '03 9^3 Vector (aka Aero) that they had on the lot. When I came back from the test drive I looked like that stupid cartoon drawing they were using to market SAABs for a few years. Needless to say, I bought the Vector then and there. One of (if not *the*) best car(s) I have ever owned. -- -Fred W
